Is this a good weight for my Syrian Hamster?

How do I get my hamster to lose weight?

  • I have 2 hamsters, an older male and a younger female.(: My male hamster Roscoe is way over weight. Hes about a year and a half. He has a wheel and a ball he runs around in. When he gets on his wheel or in his ball he goes really slow. My other hamster Roxie who I got about a month ago shares a home with Roscoe and is ery healthy. Roscoe eats most the food and i dont want to cut down on the food because i think roscoe will eat it all and Roxie will not get any :/ . I want Roscoe to loose weight but im not sure how. Any advice?? (: Thanks

  • Answer:

    The solution for this is to replace sugary treats with vegetables. Increase exercise, so that the hamster will lose weight and get fitter. You should also introduce more play outside the cage and get a hamster ball. Read on from http://www.wikihow.com/Exercise-a-Hamster and talk to your vet for professional advice.

I had three rabbits, one of them was over weight. I started portioning his food to a certain amount a day. I built him a out door play pen for him to run around and exercise. He lost some weight.
